- Dalle-3 for generating images in the platform's images manager, (as shown).
- Updated Instructions Generator: Mindsmith's default generator now adds structural directives for the AI such as, "check understanding throughout the lesson" or "only give a quiz at the end", and utilize new section types to define each part of your lesson clearly.
- OpenAI Voices Integration: All Mindsmith users can now hear more expressive and realistic voice options due to the platform's integration with OpenAI voices.
- Redesigned License Management Dashboard for Teams-tier users, allowing them to managing licenses (view, assign and remove) more easily.
